At what % do you go from 'shooting' to 'chucking'

[UK2K]

its a combination of fga and the %

i would say beginning at 46% you are not chucking

There's a long, long list of all stars who don't shoot 46%

[trig]

when a player would rather shoot over 3 people than make a simple pass

you are right. maybe between 44-46%.
this number is showing that you either have a good shot selection or that you are able to hit ridiculous difficult shots.

antoine walker was 2x all-star and never shot over 40 %: thats not good for me.

and im talking about a whole career. everyone can have 1,2,3 seasons (from 15 you played e.g.) where you have a bad shot selection, not hitting, what ever. but if you will always be between 38-42%...a constant repetition...no i think thats just not good. especially if you arent a pure shooter.

and im not talking about KOBE. Kobe has a good % regarding hiw whole career. maybe now he is just forcing to advance all-time list and so he is having a bad shot selection. but this was surely no the case over his career

How about watching games and determining the good and bad shots?

[SpanishACB]

it depends on the % of the rest of hte team minus you

if you're shooting under your team's % and taking more shots than everyone else you're having a negative impact

nowaday's however, with plenty of stars being able to hover over the 55% mark at times, it's really silly to consider a player that can't make more than half his shots a franchise player...

I personally define it as shooting the ball mindlessly resulting in hindrance of the team's offensive flow/plan.

Whether it's 3 shots or 25, it isn't the amount of even the fg% so much as the 'quality' of the shot, and how that shot fits within the overall team concept and game flow.
